This Massive Sandwich Is Your Super Bowl Party's MVP

The specs of the most show-stopping sandwich at Manganaro's Hero Boy sound more like they've been lifted from a dating profile than a menu listing: The massive sub is 6 feet, Italian and has a nice tan—everything you want in a sandwich (and a man)—and people love to have them around on Super Bowl Sunday. "We get about 75 orders for the game, and we have three guys just for making the subs," says Patty Gonzalez, a longtime manager at the shop.

Manganaro's scores its 6-foot-long, 7-inch-wide loaves from a bakery in Staten Island, then chefs stuff them with the requisite sandwich veggies (happy, Mom?) plus seven layers of cold cuts. The Italian version would do Giada proud—prosciutto! salami! ham! mortadella!—but you can get an all-American version too, with roasted turkey and Swiss cheese.

We won't go as far as to say the outcome of the game doesn't matter, but with this enormous sub, how could you leave your Super Bowl party feeling anything but totally satisfied?
